Finally finished a bottle of Henry McKenna BIB, from 2008. Great pour, just fell down in the rotation.

With great sadness I finished the last of WLW 2012 last night. Fortunately there are 2 more where that came from. Such a great whiskey.

Finished a Colonel EH Taylor last night and a Bookers tonight. I didnt like the Taylor at first, but after a few weeks it seemed to settle out to a sweeter, more flavorful pour.

Killed off a restaurant bottle of dsp ky 16 old Fitzgerald bib from 1991. This thing has been open on the shelf for at least a decade, and I managed to finish the last third of the bottle by myself in the past two months. Crazy that no one else appreciated a piece of Bourbon history over the course of 10+years.

I think most would call us crazy for caring! I mean, technically, everything in a bottle is "bourbon history."

I dumped two languishing bottles into the 2 liter oak barrel my fiancee got me for my birthday...and it felt GREAT! Not upset at all about throwing out these empties:

Knob Creek Single Barrel
Old Weller Antique

My far-fetched hope is that this will end up tasting something like the PHC 2012.

But mostly I'm just excited to see what Frankenwhiskies I can make with this cute little barrel!

I'm sure you would've had a lot of guests over if you would've asked us here on SB. Last week, I finished off a V21 that's still sitting on my counter. It's still there because I love the white wax and the truly great label. I think about 10 friends had a pour of this one too.

I poured the last pour of an Elijah Craig 18 that I've had for a long while but hadn't finished.

Something very, very bad happened to that last dram and it tasted NASTY.

Pretty bottle, but now in the recycle bin. It won't be replaced with an EC20, which would cost about three times what I paid for this bottle.
